[Zope] LocalFS

[Paul Zwarts]

Ah, good. Thank you. You at least confirm my suspicions. But being
'non-(so)-technical' or at a much more basic level than those that can take
stable syntax knowledge for granted, can someone offer me how to write into my
LocalFS mount called AdminImgMnt.

I can easily write a proper image in Zope, but directing through the mount
evades me completely. I would not know where to begin on how to tell
manage_addImage to go through LocalFS.....

The following working line of code drops my image, but now i want it to be
directed to AdminImgMnt which is the LFS mount.... User rights should be okay.
I think Im only missing the syntaxing.

      <dtml-call expr="manage_addImage(_.str(pid) + '.jpg',
REQUEST.form['imgfile'], '')">

My first assumptions were to be

      <dtml-call expr="AdminImgMnt.manage_addImage(_.str(pid) + '.jpg',
REQUEST.form['imgfile'], '')">

or
<dtml-with AdminImgMnt>
      <dtml-call expr="manage_addImage(_.str(pid) + '.jpg',
REQUEST.form['imgfile'], '')">
</dtml-with>

But both just deposit the file locall (in Zope) next to the LocalFS mount. Now
Im just getting confused beyond rationale.....

Thanks as always,
Paz
